Netflix is developing a live-action prestige fantasy series titled ‘Ravenloft’, based on the gothic horror setting of the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Produced in collaboration with Hasbro Entertainment, the project features Alfonso Cuarón as an executive producer and John August as writer and executive producer.

The narrative will focus on the origin story of the vampire Darklord Strahd von Zarovich, depicting his transformation from a tragic antihero into an undead tyrant through themes of power, love, and obsession. This development marks a shift in Netflix’s Dungeons & Dragons television strategy, as the streamer is no longer proceeding with a previously announced live-action series set in the ‘Forgotten Realms’ universe.
